Thank you for your wonderful curriculum! The content is always true to the Bible with depth, yet simplistic enough for the children to grasp the biblical lessons. I often use your lessons to fill in the gaps of what I am teaching. But often I will use all of the content of a lesson that you have provided. I am so blessed to have this resource. Thank you!
Common questions
What can I teach in Sunday school this week?
Start with the This Sunday card near the top. It shows a free lesson and children’s sermon for the coming Sunday, and switches to a seasonal lesson on holidays. Not your Bible reading? Search by Bible verse or story.
Where can I find free printable Sunday school lessons for 9-12 year olds?
Try our lessons for 9 to 12 year olds and the preteen Bible lessons. Older kids do well with longer studies, so look at Kings of Israel or the Book of Acts in the free lesson series. Everything is free to print.
Are there free 30-minute Sunday school lessons in PDF?
Yes. Sunday School Works, our sister site, has a guide to teaching in 30 minutes, with a sample plan, a prep checklist and links to free lesson PDFs. See the 30-minute lessons.
Are there free Advent and Christmas Sunday school lessons?
Yes. Download the free Advent for Kids lesson, Week 1, near the top of this page. Then browse our Advent and nativity lessons and our Christmas Sunday school lessons. All are free to print.
Is there free Sunday school curriculum for a small church?
Yes. Every lesson here is free, and many are grouped into series you can teach week after week. If you want a full year planned, The Sunday School Store sells curriculum. Try the free sample packs first.
How do I choose lessons for different ages?
Use the age cards: preschool is 3 to 5, younger kids 6 to 8, older kids 9 to 12. Teaching a mixed group? Our children’s church lessons work for a room with many ages.
